Strategies to Reduce Snoring

In addition to being fitted with an oral appliance, you can employ several strategies that will reduce or eliminate snoring. You can expect some positive outcomes from these activities, regardless of the treatment you pursue:

• Sleeping on your side - This sleeping position helps to counteract the effects of gravity and can aid in reducing or eliminating snoring.
• Maintaining a healthy weight - People who are overweight or obese often wonder how to stop snoring and improve their sleep quality. Losing weight by eating healthy and exercising regularly can help to reduce snoring and sleep apnea symptoms.
• Clearing the nasal passages - Reducing nasal congestion so that you can breathe better will also help to decrease snoring. You may benefit from using nasal sprays or nasal strips that increase air flow.
• Avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills - Alcoholic beverages and sleeping pills will help you relax, but the soft tissues and muscles in the airway will also relax and possibly restrict airflow. This can make the effects of sleep apnea that much worse and also increase snoring.
